Your mistake was doing the "emerge synch"... it got a fresh tree from Gentoo and then when you told it to emerge KDE it used the new tree and started to emerge the latest versions of KDE etc... It specifically tells you NOT to do the "emerge synch" command when you are using the GRP 2 disc set. This is clearly marked in the installation notes at section "GRP package/snapshot steps" and section 9 "Important: If you are doing a GRP install then you can ignore the following section on emerge sync." -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
